News – Report exposes Islam in Australia

Ps Daniel Scott and Ps Danny Naliah and their families went through 5 years of virtual hell because they told Christians that Islam allowed polygamy (up to 4 wives) and that it was happening in Victoria, that the Quran allowed some physical beating of wives by husbands, that women were of lesser value than men, and more.

All denied, and called vilification, by three Western converts (who clearly had a limited understanding of Islam generally and more specifically the Quran), and also by the Islamic Council of Victoria.

Yet a Howard government commissioned report, conducted by the Islamic Women’s Welfare Council of Victoria and released exclusively by Barney Zwartz in The Age newspaper today, reveals that what Daniel Scott said was in fact the truth and that it is certainly happening here in Victoria.

Local Muslim clerics accused

The Age – Barney ZwartzÂ – November 21, 2008

SOME Muslim religious leaders in Victoria are condoning rape within marriage, domestic violence, polygamy, welfare fraud and exploitation of women, according to an explosive report on the training of imams.

The report says some imams apply Sharia (Islamic law) when it benefits men but not when it benefits women, and that they hinder police from pursuing domestic violence charges.

Women seeking divorces have also been told by imams that they must leave “with only the clothes on their back” and not seek support or a share of property because they can get welfare payments.

The report also says some women who were legally separated but not religiously divorced had their husbands enter their houses, demand sexual intercourse and take it by force.

Ironically, Sheikh Fehmi, who is also Mufti of Australia, told Zwartz that he could not understand how the council could write such a report and denied the complaints “absolutely”. “They must have heard stories here and there and are writing about them as though they are fact,” he said. No authorised Imam would conduct a polygamous marriage, and it was absolutely wrong that women’s rights were ignored in marriage or divorce, or that imams ignored domestic violence.

Narrator:
… Islam recognises polygamy so prior to 1968 Imams like Sheikh Fehmi were not permitted to celebrate marriages.
Sheikh Fehmi
It used to be at the time the late Mr Snedden he was the Attorney General. So I had a good meeting with him one day and tried to convince him that it is important for the Muslim to marry their own people. But he used to say to me. Well you know Sheikh Fehmi that you Muslims may marry more than one and when we are not allowed to let anybody here for have only one wife. I said to him, listen to me please you may register the first one and don’t worry about the second one. He laughed and said all right we won’t have anything to do with the second one. I stopped at the idea and at the time we had gained recognition from the Attorney General for all our Imams around Australia from that year onward.

Sheikh Fehmi also stated â€œIslam is the clear clean page which doesn’t change. It didn’t change in the past, is not changing now, it will not change in the future.â€

He certainly appears to be denying today something he has previously stated was true despite clear evidence that what he said in 2001 has indeed been happening today here in Australia.

There is now plenty of evidence that Islam, perhaps like no other religion apart from Christianity that has come to Australia, does not change but instead tries to change the prevailing culture it infiltrates to suit it own statutes.

Unlike Christianity, Islam does not promote monogamy, does not promote full personal equality between men and women (thus allowing the beating of wives) and it does not believe in freedom of choice, including freedom to change your religion.

According to this Islamic report and according to Sheikh Fehmi, these are tenants of Islam that do not, and cannot change and will not fit within modern western society.

We should be thankful that the Howard government commissioned this report which I am fairly confident would not have been commissioned under the current Rudd government.

Will the people of Australia NOW wake up before we have the same situation here that now exists in many western countries where Islam is threatening the very fabric of society and seeking to dominate both the religious AND political landscape?

Will those like Mark Zirnzak and the hierarchy of the Uniting Church, and other denominational leaders who sided with the Muslims or stayed conspicuously quiet during the Two Dannyâ€™s case, NOW issue an apology to both of them for not supporting their case? That would certainly be the Christian thing to do.

Action

Challenging the flaws of other religions is the responsibility, not only of all Christians, but of all governments where those religions seek to gain a foothold. Appeasement is not a solution, nor is sitting down in the name of interfaith dialogue over a nice cup of tea.

We need to understand what other religions truly believe and the standards they have and compare them to Christianity. We need to vigorously and publicly expose the darkness that bad laws like the Victorian Racial & Religious Tolerance laws try to suppress.

These Australian Muslim women have spoken out. Many of them probably came here to escape the very Islamic Sharia Law that now continues to deny them freedom here in Australia. This is a cry for help.
Will the rest of Australia now listen?
